In my book, I argue that trust starts from the mutual recognition of the benevolence and the competence of the other party. It develops further through various forms of collaboration, from the simplest (dialogue) to the most complex, the synergetic collaboration, where a group of people is able to self-synchronize to complete a project in time without on relying planning. As we engage into more elaborate forms of collaboration, the quality of communication increases. We no longer interact just to exchange information, but to establish common values. The next "step" is love :blush:
What is amazing today with Web2 technologies is that we can now benefit from a vast array of online collaboration activities, from the simplest (feedback vote on any publication) to the most complex (administration of a community). We can combine them in clever ways so as to gradually engage a group of people in more elaborate forms of collaboration.
That's the way trust build up. It's not a prerequisite for community-building, but an outcome. |

Martin,
Good points. Will you be expanding on these ideas about trust for contributing into the book? If so, could you expand on the ideas of the "clever ways so as to gradually engage a group of people"? I think it would extremely interesting to identify and document exactly what "ways" people/businesses are doing this. Do you know of some examples?
Hope to hear more from you.
Cheers,
joe |

My two cents on this specific topic. I am close to done with the reading of the fascinating "The World Is Flat" and halfway through it I ran into a thought that captured my imagination:
[quote]Page 320: [Trust] is what gives you the predictability that allows you to take a big leap... Without trust there is no risk-taking and there is no innovation.[/quote]
It inspired me to write a post on my blog, which I felt could be useful as far as examples in reply to your question, Joe: http://manuelhp42.blogspot.com/2006/11/trust-what-keeps-us-evolving.html
Based on what I wrote, I'd say that trust is very much a requisite AND an outcome of community-building. Having systems to foster and sustain trust enable initial community "dwellers" to feel comfortable engaging in community activities, and successful community interactions, where community members that betray trust deal with the consequences and are not left "at large" generate a positive "trust spiral" that helps inspire new and coming generations of members. |

Manny,
The blog post was great! Excellent examples. Are you planning on integrating this text into the book? I would strongly recommend it. I'd practically copy paste what you've written there and stick it in "Challenge 3", in particular the theme titled "Trust within communities". I think the clarity of your writing would be extremly valuable.
cheers and good work!
